Well back in early December i got ran off the road by a dodge ram that was plowing snow, he took off like a little bitch after he realized what he did.
I ended up going in the ditch at about 25-30 mph and hit a snow buried railroad tie with the right front wheel and then slid down the side of the guard rail for about 50 feet or so.
It broke the knuckle, and c.v. shaft, bent the strut and lower control arm.
So i went to the salvage yard and picked up a complete rt. front suspension assy.
i replaced everything in the rt. front.
it sucked because it was single digit temps lol.
the body damage is getting repaired in the spring
but here are the pics.
before:
morning after accident after it was towed home
back together and body damage
plans are to do a fade from the body line down into metallic black or metallic charcoal gray and black wheels w/ polished lip, black mesh grille, paint chrome inside headlamp black and remove amber lenses. and more stuff.
thanks for looking

Did you tell the cops about the plow guy? Years ago a plow backed onto the road in front of the car I was behind. I rearended her. We told the police about the plow and they went to the house being plowed, got the guy's info, and cited him for leaving the scene of an accident. I wasn't even ticketed.

ya know i am just sitting here cant sleep thinking about @!#$.
and i just realized how much stuff you can actually remember from a situation like that even if it was a second or less.
i remember that it was a red 1995 or so dodge ram(didnt have clear h/lamp lenses yet) black body mldgs with chrome strip, it had BFG all-terrains on it and i think 33" or 35", left tail lamp broken with red repair tape on it, some kind of university sticker on back window, rust over left rear wheel well, exhaust hanging in front of rear axle, a clear polycarbonate snow plow and a big chrome nutsack dangling from the trailer hitch......(im in wisconsin.)
but at the time of the accident i was more worried about my damn car thinking it was worse off and than it was. so far it has cost $125 for complete used susp. assy. and they "gave" me the fuel door. I=labor...$ idk.
ahh fuk it. lol
i took an ambiencr about 2hours ago.. when will it work?
its the first time i ever took a sleeping med. for the last half hour i have felt like my whole body is slightly hummig... wtf?\

If you buy running boards GM will repaint the rear fenders and boards for free.....at least that is what they did for me. there is a TSB out on it.
